Track habits with colorful grids—just like GitHub contributions. Tap circles to check in from widgets, get smart reminders, and watch your streaks grow at a glance. Perfect for building morning routines, fitness habits, reading goals, and any daily practice you want to make stick. Simple, visual, and incredibly satisfying. WHY GRID IS DIFFERENT Most habit trackers hide your progress behind menus and stats screens. Grid puts everything front and center with a visual grid for each habit—tap today's circle, watch it turn green, and see your patterns emerge instantly. Your habits appear as horizontal rows with scrollable grids showing the last 90 days. Green circles = completed. Gray = missed. It's impossible to ignore your consistency (or lack of it). STAY ON TRACK WITH SMART REMINDERS Set custom notifications for each habit—morning meditation at 7am, evening reading at 9pm, or water reminders throughout the day. Grid sends gentle reminders exactly when you need them, keeping you consistent without being annoying. CHECK IN FROM YOUR HOME SCREEN Grid's home screen widgets let you see and complete habits without opening the app. Glance at your progress, tap to check in, and keep your momentum going—all from your iPhone home screen or lock screen. Widget options: - Today's Habits - See all habits and check them off - Single Habit Focus - Track your most important habit with a mini-grid - Quick access from small, medium, or large widgets FEATURES - Unlimited habits (100% free) - Visual grid tracking for each habit - Home screen & lock screen widgets - Custom reminders for each habit - Satisfying check-in animation with confetti - Streak counters that motivate you daily - Share cards to celebrate milestones - Full calendar view with detailed stats - Dark mode support - No ads, no account required - All your data stays on your device PERFECT FOR Morning routines (meditation, journaling, exercise) Health goals (drink water, take vitamins, track sleep) Fitness habits (gym, running, yoga, stretching) Learning (read daily, practice language, study) Productivity (deep work, no social media, inbox zero) Self-improvement (gratitude, mindfulness, reflection) HOW IT WORKS 1. Add a habit with an emoji and name 2. Set a reminder time (optional) 3. Get notified when it's time 4. Tap the circle to check in—from the app or widget 5. Watch green squares fill up your grid 6. Build unstoppable streaks 7. Share your progress when you hit milestones NEVER MISS A HABIT Grid's notification system is designed to help, not harass. Set one reminder or multiple throughout the day. Snooze if you need more time. Dismiss if you're done. Each habit gets its own reminder schedule that works for your life. THE GRID APPROACH Inspired by GitHub's contribution graph, Grid makes habit tracking visual and immediate. You don't need to dig through menus to see how you're doing—your grids and widgets tell the story at a glance. Miss a day? You'll see the gap. Building consistency? The pattern becomes obvious.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Trackity at 100% against Grid's 50%. Trackity also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.2) and update cadence (weekly vs every 5 weeks). Grid's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Grid sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $14.99 per year and Trackity sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Trackity holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Grid has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 50% of Grid's written reviews are positive against 100% of Trackity's.
Grid ships an update every 5 weeks, Trackity weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
